Basically, the vast majority of these I would say are more 'genre defining' aspects than 'pokemon clone' aspects and I think this is one of the reasons why many modern monster tamer games can't get big. They stray too far from the 'genre' they are trying to market to just to avoid being seen as another 'pokemon clone'. Unless you have a gimmick on par with Megami Tensei, Dragon Quest Monsters or Pokemon gimmicks(how they catch pokemon etc etc), you really shouldn't break the wheel. If you look at the criteria for topdown RTS(Age of Empires, Dune C&C etc), Metroidvanias, Rogue-likes/roguelite, CRPGs(Baldur's Gate, Divinity, Dragon Age etc), Isometric Action RPG(basically Diablo and 'Diablo Clones'), Soulsbourne/Souls-like and other genres they all have their respective criteria similar to what was said here, difference is the companies embrace them and don't get bashed for it(well they do but there is a strong enough audience that counters the backlash and hate). It's such a shame, two of my favourite kinds of the games, pokemon style monster taming and Total War style strategy do not have meaningful competitors that scratch the right itch, and for the pokemon style monster taming, there two huge reasons why I think companies are afraid, and that's A the pokemon company trying keep their hold on sub genre and B, the Pokemon(and tbh, the monster taming too to some extant) Fanbase being absolutely rabid whenever something even remotely similar tries to use the same genre/formula that Pokemon uses. We can see this in Palworld, and they are in a completely different niche/sub genre imo.
I've covered over 150 games. There is a lot more variety in the genre than most people realize. It is true that the most popular games are normally more similar to Pokemon. The guide was intended to encourage developers to be more creative and avoid getting slandered online by biased gaming journalists.
@@TheOFCMedia Fair, but I think that's the wrong direction, the genre needs enough 'pokemon clone' games that are all popular enough that it breaks through the 'pokemon clone' moniker in a similar fashion to how FPS came out of 'Doom Clone' and 'Quake Killer'. Feels more like gate keeping and pushing potential games within the sub genre out than supporting the Devs, I feel like if we want to support Devs, instead we should be pushing back against the crowd that bash on these games and devs and use 'Pokemon Clone' in a derogatory way or call 'Pokemon Ripoff' when they are clearly not using Pokemon IP/Assets, not matter how close these people think they are. Hope that makes sense lol
I may have to take some notes on this later, but thanks for the advice. I will save this video for future references. 😉
Glad I could help people.
Happy 1k dude, good content !
Thank you. I appreciate the support
I will put the designs 1st for my Monster tamer that is the best advice as well.
Remember that the gameplay loop is also vital so that the player does not get bored quickly.
@@TheOFCMedia Yeah Gameplay is important as well I take that seriously as well since I want the Game to do well treat it like a dish u are cooking.
Thank u for answering my question!
No problem. I want people to succeed.
I hope the right people discover your channel this year.
I can't even explain how much I've had to do to even get to this point as a content creator.
congrats on 100k subs
Thanks for the optimistic comment

I like it!
I'm fully aware, they will get plenty of sales. I just wish it didn't seem like a reskin of a rom.
"palworld came close to making the same amount of money as pokemon" lmao no??? nintendo haters thought it was the coolest thing ever, but it didnt come anywhere close to beating the 100 billion dollar company's profits. is this a joke? its not very well done.
I don't think you understand the context of what I was saying. It was a reference to a previous video involving the first 3 days of units sold. Palworld was the only recent monster taming game to sell enough units to get Nintendo's attention. Temtem was 2nd place to Palworld, but there was a giant gap between the 2 games. I was not referring to the total value of the Pokemon IP. That would not be possible.
Please continue to branch out to virtual pet or creature collectors!
Nice suggestion, I could start spreading the coverage to virtual pet games and games with more focus on collecting to see how viewers respond. There is a lot of overlap anyway.
@@TheOFCMedia Yes, that would be fantastic! Lots of upcoming games on Steam. You should do Let's Build A Zoo.
Well, if it's better than Palworld, then I'm okay w/ it anyway. 👌
There is a big difference in budget, but I believe the final result should still be good.
PC players stay winning.🎉
Way more choices on PC than other platforms
I’m finna be broke😂😂😂
The collectors are the real MVPs in the community.
Game Link - studioinfinity.itch.io/xenomon-open-world-monster-fighting-rpg
Pokemon just has too much going for it for a new game to attempt to dethrone it. you can't compete with the 1000 pokemon backlog. for palworld it's fun as a monster collector but not much out of that, the game play feels too grindy and there is no compelling story and I couldn't name many Pals off the top of my head but with pokemon, it's easier to do because it has been around for so long and the names are pretty memorable. Yokai watch is a solid newcomer and they are successful outside of the "this is like pokemon" sphere. tem tem just didn't have a solid enough identity to take off. I won't comment on the other games
I definitely understand what you are saying. The whole dethroning expectation is crazy.
😮😮
The difference is that Pokemon actually puts effort into it's creature designs. Not choosing generic monsters and quantity.
I have seen a good amount of generic designs in the community.
Yo-kai watch is the closest, there are many similarities with PKM Sun and Moon, More cartoony artstyle, Z-ring, Rotom Dex=Whisper, Z- moves =Soulmate moves, and a more relaxed vibe, even going to school.
Yokai Watch probably did come the closest at its peak
This is a whole meme. 😂 "Pokemon Killer" Death Note
I'm surprised no poketuber has brought it up yet
Jornalist just trying to get that paper by any means necessary. Sad smh
Yes, this isn't even the worse thing they do.
Yeah it feels like their doing on purpose cause their nostalgia for Pokemon. If you notice they always point how bad the franchise is and make excuses but buy every game.
I've noticed a lot of conflicting arguments within the pokemon company. Indie games getting negative outcomes for being too similar or not similar enough to Pokemon. The purchases show the truth more than the comments and articles.
@ kinda wish journalist didn’t always use the title Pokemon killer for some of the best monster catching games. You think they would have a bigger vocabulary since it’s their job. It also makes Pokemon’s crazy fans attack games called Pokemon killers.
Being similar to Pokemon will get you nowhere, make some unique, like a unique narrative, artstyle (not generic monsters), unique battle system.
That is why they fail, TemTem was too similar to Pokemon and it had a generic anime artstyle with evolutions that barely change, just extra features or it gets humanoid.
@ theirs plenty unique monster catching games out there and I play most off them.
Are gaming journalists giving indie games a death sentence when they call them a "Pokemon Killer" ?
No, it the artstyle, with generic monsters and simple game play/ over used battle system.
@Dany-rx7rs nah they say this about literally any monster taming games, calling a monster taming game a 'Pokemon like' or whatever, is every similar to when FPS games were called 'Doom Clones/Doom Likes' or 'Souls Like' or 'Rogue like/roguelite' or 'metroidvania'. Pokemon Killer is similar to how for a very long time(basically my entire Teen Years) you had the 'wow killer'. This is nothing new, and has nothing to do with artstyle or how generic it is, it's do with the fact that Pokemon was the genre defining game for it's genre 'monster taming' despite Dragon Quest, Megami Tensei and Wizardry all doing it before Pokemon. So any monster taming game will naturally be compared to pokemon and most of the time called be called a Pokemon clone/pokemon like or pokemon killer, or in the case of Shin Megami Tensei, Pokemon for adults/older teens.
@@sirsquid577 it does it'll be more memorable because it's unique, and it's needs an artstyle that caters to a wide audiences.
@Dany-rx7rs being memorable and unique has never stopped the 'clone' moniker, the 'clone' moniker stops when there is no longer a undisputed king of the genre or the genre defining game(rogue, Pokemon, doom, Souls series, metroid etc) is topled and you get a bunch of equally good products that directly compete with it for at least a few years to a decade. It's how Doom likes/Doom clones became Fps. This has not happened in the monster taming genre and so they will continue to be called Pokemon clones/Pokemon likes because that's all most people know and think about.
With a different concept, not Pokemon with a different name. It's not only about unique artstyle.
WoW! That’s Fantastic! Have An Incredible Week! 🫶🏻❤️✨
What software are you using for commenting?
Basically it all comes down to KISS (Keep It Simple, Stupid).
True, trying too hard can be counterproductive
Pokemon will probably steal alot of things from this for switch 2
I'm keeping my expectations low for the new Pokemon game.
thank you for showing the game! also your channel is very interesting, subscribed!
Thanks
dont you mean spectrobes?
I covered specrobes in a different video. This game doesn't remind me of spectrobes.
@@TheOFCMedia but it does for me
Thanks, man you been putting me on a bunch cool games!
I'm glad to hear that. Gamers need to know that they got over 150 other options outside of Pokemon.
@ yeah your right, I quit playing Pokemon after Sword and Shield because they don’t really put effort in their games anymore but want your money.
@@lionelottison1471 I feel the same frustration, it's a shame that most developers try to copy Pokemon mechanics without innovation, I'll try to do my best 🙃
@ are you coming to switch so I can support your project?
@@lionelottison1471 I have the devkit, but I'm sure the performance won't be that good, you can play one of the games I created where the battles will be inspired called Virus Rush, it will be focused on the Switch 2

I realy want to see this game its realy cool that this game is reaching foreign content creators
Yes, the game is getting international attention.
Lets goooooo, Bagdex reaching foreign content creators is awesome!!!
I'm glad you liked the video.
We were very happy with your review, thank you very much! 💙
No problem, your team did an amazing job.
This game is definitely on my list of games to watch. I'm very happy to hear there's gonna be a Switch version, although I'm not sure whether I want to get the Switch or PC version.
It probably depends on if you want to stream it or if you want to collect steam achievements.
I recommend PC because the pre-sale is already underway, the most expensive package on the nuuvem website is costing around US$18.
If in doubt, get both, pre-sale the cheapest package is 18 dollars, probably at launch it will be between 20 and 25 dollars

Surely this is the 2024 awards. I don't think you can announce the best games of 2025 just 10 days into the year. Also shocked I've never heard of any of these except Palworld. I hope the others havent been scared to speak up incase Nintendo goes after them too.
Yes, these are based on games released in the year 2024. The point of the awards is to raise awareness of great games.
Yaoling mythical journey is sooooo good. I'm addicted
It's a nice new style to the genre
Game Link - store.steampowered.com/app/3297200/The_Last_Worlds__Crossed_Souls/
so... why the anti-palworld pokemon fans aren't going savaje and wild agains this game? it makes no sense at all...
They waited until Palworld released to be outraged. The monster taming community knew about Palworld over a year in advanced.
I knew Palworld would win something
I wasn't surprised either
Were you surprised by the results?
This looks like it would get annoying
I would hope not
This looks pretty good
It may have top 5 potential, depending on how the developers handle the IP
@@TheOFCMedia is it coming to the west?
I believe so, the game is in English
@@TheOFCMedia perfect keep up the good work I subbed
Seems like temtem swarm and vampire survivors like game
Yes, I believe it should be similar to both of those games

This sounds like a great game you’ve made. I also had no idea the label “monster taming” existed!
Thank you. I'm glad I've been able to help players discover a genre.
Great video, just goes to show how many people are being silly for dismissing the concept of monster tamer games because they're similar to Pokemon. There's nothing wrong with inspired by something, the same way Game Freak was inspired by Dragon Quest. I really do wish people would give them a chance.
Exactly, I've been trying to provide information to help people understand the monster taming genre better.
